[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class sizes are small. I don't know the numbers off hand but I think in the upper grades it's like 15.[/quote] The fact that you don’t know a typical upper grade class size at Payne underscores my prior conclusion that your child is still in the lower grades. Please report back to us in a few years and let us know how things are going.[/quote] DP. I'm one of the posters at one of the desirable (read: majority white, to you) Hill schools, and our experience has been WORSE in the upper grades. It was really good in the lower grades. Has nothing to do with the composition of the class, and everything to do with the teachers. A kid that is actually bright and intelligent is going to be JUST FINE in a, gasp, cohort of 1/4 of the class. If you demand that your child be surrounded by "PARCC 4s and 5s" you're kind of losing in life and absolutely should move to the suburbs. [/quote]
